Hotel Bären Loses New Management Two Years Early

  28.04.2015 Local News

The community of Gsteig has agreed to dissolve their four-year lease early, allowing it to come to an end this autumn.

Jaggi and Gasser took over the hotel in December 2013. The young couple infused the traditional Bären with energy and enthusiasm, yet many Gsteigers did not warm to them.  Although Jaggi and Gasser were aware the undertaking would be difficult, they did not anticipate such difficulty integrating into the local village population.  

The Bären has seen its share of changes in management since 1756, when the classic wooden chalet-style hotel was built. Nearly two years ago, the Gstaad Palace ceased operations at the hotel and the facility was turned over to Jaggi and Gasser. Future management of the hotel has yet to be determined.

Yet Jaggi and Gasser are still busy gearing up for one last season.

“We are looking forward to the summer,” say Jaggi and Gasser. “We’ll give it our ‘all’ until the very end.”
